Major Nelson has posted a nice, curt
post about how things work at Xbox Live Marketplace. This seems mostly in responseto
posts like this one from George Broussard about why the
Prey demo has not shown up yet on Xbox Live Marketplace. While I hate to take sides on something like this it seems like there were some communication issues between the various parties (2K Games, Microsoft, Human Head, and 3D Realms) about how long it takes to get something certified and posted on Xbox Live. I'm not sure that posting whiney messages on your forums really solves anything, especially when you are calling out the company that is publishing your titles. Besides, you'd think they might want to get started on that other
game they've been working on for a while.
Thanks to
Xboxic for the 3D Realms board post
